Game-in-a-Game: Lucky Chess of Fall

This game-in-a-game just appeared in Backpack Merge.  You have to clear Stage 3 to get the button. 

It's a simple roll-and-move game, and your goal is to get stars and bonuses.  The stars count on the bonus bar at the top, so it takes 40 stars to get that first bonus.  Come here when you see the red dot on the game icon on the main page, and click the green Go button to claim dice for completing quests.  You can get a purple "magic die" by watching an ad.

Then, on the main board, click to roll dice and move.  Some of the odd bits:

- the crystal ball at top left highlights one of the stars on the board -- I could not see a reason
- the train zooms you over to the right to the 300 magic dust
- the jail at top right gives you three chances to roll doubles (feels like Monopoly) but you always get out anyway
- the checkerboard on the right edge appears to swap the entire board from a right-half to a left-half.
- the lucky die lets you pick a number from 1 to 6 to move where you want

Other than that, there are little bonuses on every square -- a bit much, you should once in a while get stuck or go back or lose a turn, or just not be rewarded for existing.  Of course they offer a bonus pack to pay real $$ for dice.  There is also some kind of daily ranking which sends you more rewards by in-game "email".


I always enjoy finding these game-in-a-game instances.


This little board game screen will only be available Nov 1 to Nov 7.
